"Andricon" is another in a string
of words that I've made up.It's an adjective that describes
the style and sexuality of Vera Blue. Ithink that it's important in
the understanding of the word that know thatVera's a construct of three
women that I knew in New York; two drug dealersand a gun runner and Andricon
was a way for me to describe those strangequalities about them/her that
drew me. Very nocturnal, almost pathologicallyso. Plastically android-gynous
yet still very human underneath...somewherebeneath the welded plates and
wires. Make-up around her LEDs.Hope that helps. I knew a bunch
of kids who started calling themselvesAndricons and their plans were
known as 'andriconspears' which I thought waspretty cool. Stay loose.

FUCK ART LET'S KILL

What does it all mean?Jared says this is the deeper meaning behind the band's
notable saying:Fuck all the pretention. If you're gonna do something,
do it from the heart.I thought it was a Ministry and/or Skinny Puppy shirt?Way back in 1987, Jared was playing in DC with a band
called Furnace. Heused the slogan "Fuck Art, Let's Kill" on around 12
t-shirts that he hadprinted up. When Ministry came through DC with theMindIsATerribleThingToTaste tour, Ogre, being an old
buddy of Jared'sfrom the early '80s, wanted a t-shirt. He wore it
for large parts of therest of the tour, and thus it showed up in the Ministry
concert video.

Chemlab isn't the only party to have used the slogan
as promotionalmaterial. When a poet friend of Jared's released a
book of his latestwork in DC, he had Jared and several buddies stand
around at the releaseparty wearing the shirt. The poet, whose name was
Art (now you see itcoming, don't you), had a shirt on that said: FUCK
ME I'M ART.
